Our Mission
The mission is simple: to help young athletes develop their skills, confidence, and love for the game in a fun, supportive, and pressure-free environment.
We believe hockey should build players up, not burn them out. Our goal is to keep kids in the game, teaching the skills, discipline, and teamwork that help players grow both on and off the ice.
Development Over Pressure
Not every player wants to dedicate their entire off-season to hockey, and that’s okay.
Bandits Hockey is designed for players who want to improve, compete, and have fun, without sacrificing balance or enjoyment.
We welcome all skill levels, from beginners to advanced players, and tailor our programs so every athlete can learn at their own pace.
Here, players train in a positive, family-focused environment... free from the politics, pressure, and stress often found elsewhere. Our coaches focus on teaching the right way: emphasizing effort, attitude, and consistency over scores and standings.
What Makes Bandits Different
- All Levels Welcome: We proudly work with beginners, developing players, and advanced skaters alike.
- Player-Centered Coaching: Our staff focuses on technique, development, and personal growth, not wins and losses.
- Fun & Safe Environment: Every player should love coming to the rink and feel supported by teammates, coaches, and families.
- Balanced Approach: We believe in multi-sport athletes and healthy balance, hockey should be part of a child’s life, not their whole life.
- Growth Not Profit: Our programs are priced lower than other "big" programs. The development and growth of our players is more important than profit.
At Bandits Hockey, we are not about wins vs. losses — we’re about development, effort, and heart. Our success is measured by each player’s growth, confidence, and continued love for the sport.
